Your True Friends - Poem by Francis Duggan

You are down and out without any money and you've given up on all hopeAnd you think about ending your misery from a rafter beam dangling from a ropeAnd some of those you thought were good mates in your time of need not to be foundIt is then you know who your friends are your true friends will rally aroundAnd try to help you out of your troubles and offer you financial aidThough some of those who were your friends in the good times in your time of need from your life fadeA true friend will always stick by you a true friend will not see you downThough some may see you as a loser one of the poor souls of the Town, You had many friends in your good days such stories have been told beforeBut now that you've fallen on hard times you are not that well liked anymoreBut your real friends they will not ignore you and they will look on you as the samePerson you were when you were seen as successful though you don't have a coin to your name, In your time of need they stick by you as your friends are precious and rareThey will do their best for to help you and worry about your welfare
